INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PARAMARAS OF MALWA
Second Plate ; First Side
___________________
[1] A redundant stroke shows that this akshara is combination of the palatal and the dental sibilants.
[2] Perhaps originally nu, later on corrected to tu.
[3] The unit figure of the number of this verse shows an ornamental curve above and also below.
[4] Possibly some other aksharas were first engraved here and later on scratched off to give place to these three.
[5] Originally shu, with the cursive stroke later on erased ; but it is still visible.
[6] This sign of punctuation, as also the one in the next line, is redundant. The word dānavāri in the preceding verse has the double meaning, viz. (1) water used in making donations, and (2) the enemy of the dānavas. Dēvapāla =(i) the king with this name ; and (ii) Indra.
[7] This appears to refer to the image of Vishṇu installed in an old temple in the vicinity of the well-known temple at Māndhātā.
[8] The dhā in vasudhā was originally engraved as dhō and later on the mātrā above was scratched off.
[9] The daṇḍas are superfluous. In the following lines the rules of sandhi are not often observed, which have not been pointed out every time.
[10] That is, śrōtriya, here and below. It may also be noticed that these abbreviations are sometimes accompanied by the sign for zero and sometimes by a daṇḍa, as here, I have reproduced these signs as in the original.
[11] That is dīkshita, here and below.
[12] That is, śukla, here and below.
[13] Here the pravaras are omitted.
